Some bdays are better
than others . This was definitely true in this case - my poor protector
It started out great
the night before his bday with a fun and wonderful bday dinner with his sister
and brother in law and my mom and our family . We ordered in Lebanese and had a
very very small cake that bear chose and had a super nice time at the table chatting
for hours. We had not seen them in a while as brother in law had cancer
treatments and was a gift in an of itself to see him well and healthy .
So that part of the
bday was super !
Then his real bday
came
I had forgotten same
day and had schedules both of us working out ( not his fave activity ) so felt
bad that I suggested that . We didn't go .
Then I got super sick
that day . And my cough became out of control
I had planned out
first weight watcher meeting that evening as we both want to shed some pounds
and even if sick I wanted to go as first one
Hubby was not too
thrilled that I planned this on his actual bday . Given we had the celebration
the night before I didn't think mattered
He did
Especially when he
walked into a full room of 60 women and no men
Then be it was his
birthday I felt we had to go out to dinner so we did and I coughed the whole
time and was miserable . So was he . We waited and waited for beauty hip hop to
be over but it never ended until 10:15 .
The waiter must have
thought we were the worst couple ever as just gave up on dinner and each went
on our own phones ( we never ever touch phones during meals )
We were a sorry sight
I bet
When they came and
gave the bday cake I think I was asleep on the table
Then we got home at
10:45 and the kids gave him their cards and me a gift
We had decided for
his bday we would take a super super cheap trip to Miami for Easter for 4 days
and surprise the kids that night with it
I wrote a poem about
it as we are going super cheap and driving to USA to take flight and not buying
more than one meal a day etc . The boys were super pumped when I read the poem
and beauty was so so so excited and was jumping up and down
Then we told her part
of the plane deal is no luggage
None
Only a knapsack on
Back and has to carry all her clothes in that
And she started
bawling her eyes out and wouldn't stop . Like crying and crying and saying that
she could never wear only one outfit for 4 days and what would she post on
instragram about it .
She also didn't like
that if she wants a Pina Colada she has to buy it .
We provide water
Did I mention this is
a super super last minute cheap trip ?
We are calling it
Shitts Creek 2018
We have never
travelled on that type of budget and wanted to give it a try . In our minds
will be an adventure and just feel blessed to be able to get some sun and be
together
We also told them
that their gift to their dad can be paying the shuttle from airport to hotel .
( not taxi )
The boys were very
excited . Beauty was very conflicted and wanted to be excited but the luggage
and water seemed to kill her
All during this I am
half dying and half asleep just waiting until midnight to pass so I would need
to feel so guilty ruining my mans bday
I turned out the
lights and kept him awake most of the night with severe coughing .
Happy bday hon ?
Could it be a worse
celebration ??
Thank goodness the
night before with your sister was so fun
And we never did play
cards to top it all off
Sorry
I totally suck
Here's the poem I
wrote :
Shitts creek 2018
trip !
When I asked dad what
he wanted for his bday he was very clear : he wanted his family of five near
He always loves Trent
But knows that where
that is where the majority of our time is already spent
He wanted to take a
few days in the sun
It would be so super
fun
The problem is that
not money to pay given that we are taking big trip with Tristan to Bali in may
We tried to figure
out how we could do it for this man as we all know we want to make his wishes
come true with a bam
We came up with
something that is good and very cheap but it will be very different and won't
be our travel at its usual peak
We will drive to get
a plane in the middle of the night and cross a border to ensure a cheap flight
We will share a small
room and pod - you will each have one night to get
cosy in a queen with your squad
We will eat light in
the day and have a yummy sit down meal if we may once a day
Your bday gift to dad
he asks not to shop for for 20 dollars USA you each contribute to shuttle bus
and drop
Will be the cheapest
trip we have ever done but totally guaranteed to be fun in the sun
Will be an
adventure for sure
and will be low cost and let's hope we don't get lost !
Let's hope there are
still fares to buy - if not will have to forget this and tell the idea goodbye
Inviting you all for
dads bday wish to Miami south beach . I am sure you will be so excited we won't
have to preach !
See you for Easter as
we travel through the night- we can always make it happen even on a
little budget if we try with all our might !
